Highlights of Baltimore Ravens 2nd round pick Zion Young
We're looking at highlights of the Ravens game wrecking second round pick
The Ravens needed edge rusher depth and used the No. 45 pick on Missouri's Zion Young one year after picking Mike Green at No. 59 overall.
It was understood that Eric DeCosta could prioritize adding an edge rusher early, with the 2026 class offering strong value at the position in Round 1. Baltimore took Vega Ioane in Round 1, and pivoted with elite training camp competition in the high motor, Young. Young, a transfer from Michigan State, started all 13 games at the JACK position last season.
He recorded a total of 23 tackles, including 9 solo tackles, 9. 5 tackles for loss (TFL), and a team-high 9. 0 sacks, along with one interception.
His average of 0. 69 sacks per game ranked him 19th nationally and fourth in the SEC. According to Pro Football Focus, he was the 34th-ranked pass rusher in the nation with a grade of 80.
